Global Dermatology Devices Market: Restraints
High cost of treatment is expected to hinder growth of the global dermatology devices market. For instance, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the average cost of ablative laser skin resurfacing ranges from US$ 2,000 to US$ 25,000.
Moreover, uncertainty related to the U.S. Healthcare reforms is also expected to limit the market growth. The U.S. healthcare reforms have been associated with uncertainty in recent times, attributed to increasing focus on reducing healthcare spending. Though reform has increased access to healthcare by making insurance more affordable and accessible; it has phased out the federal payments to states made through Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) program, to cover cost of uncompensated care for uninsured or low-income individuals.
